Austin Rivers hit 8-of-13 shots and a 3-pointer for 17 points, two rebounds, four assists and a steal in 35 minutes of Monday's 114-101 win over the Nets.

He's been back for three games and has played at least 32 minutes and scored in double figures in each of them. The rest of the Clippers starters had pretty pedestrian stat lines, but they got an easy win and Rivers can be added in all leagues. Milos Teodosic was back from his foot injury tonight, but Rivers got the start and is likely going to get more minutes than Teodosic on most nights. Feb 12 - 10:42 PM

Despite playing 32 and 34 minutes in his first two games back from an 18-game absence, Austin Rivers said his ankle feels great.

"I've been conditioning so hard that I wasn't even tired out there," Rivers said. "I thought I was going to have an early wind where I was going to be exhausted, but I wasn't tired at all." He added that the swelling in his ankle is completely gone and the Clippers will be relying on him heavily going forward, especially with Milos Teodosic (foot) banged up again. He's averaging 13.0 points, 5.0 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.5 triples in his last two games. Feb 11 - 11:57 AM

Austin Rivers (ankle) returned from an 18-game absence and showed little to no rust, scoring 16 points with five assists, two rebounds and two triples in 32 minutes in a 108-95 win over Detroit.

It's surprising to see him play 32 minutes right away, but maybe Doc was rewarding him for doing all of his chores. All kidding aside, Rivers drew the start at PG with Milos Teodosic (foot) out, but it's currently unclear if the veteran was rested or if this injury could linger. He's worth a look and will probably see heavy minutes at both guard spots even when Teodosic is back. Feb 9 - 9:49 PM

Austin Rivers (ankle) will start at point guard on Friday vs. the Pistons.

Milos Teodosic (foot) is out, but we'd still expect some restrictions for Rivers right out of the gate. There are a lot of mouths to feed in LA, but Rivers is worth a look if you need a guard. Feb 9 - 7:12 PM

Patrick Beverley (knee surgery) hinted that there's a chance he'll be able to return to the court at some point this season.

"I'm not a doctor, but there's a chance," said Beverley when asked about a possible return this season. We'd take these comments with an enormous grain of salt and highlight the whole "I'm not a doctor" part of his statement. Beverley underwent both microfracture and arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, which is nothing to shrug at, so it would be quite shocking to see him back on the court this season. For what it's worth, he said he'd start traveling with the team in February.
